Marlin Lodge
Marlin Lodge is situated on Benguerua Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago. This chain of islands – because of their exquisite beauty – have been named "Crown Jewels" of the Western Indian Ocean Marlin's elegant wooden structures are beautifully integrated into the environment. The wood-reed-and-thatch chalets, constructed on elevated stilts, offer an unspoiled view of the white beach and Archipelago Ocean.

All 21 en-suite chalets are sea facing with a private patio and walkway to the white sandy beach.
These Chalets at Marlin are a unique blend of Luxury, romance but yet a more rustic combination. The classic chalets have undergone a soft re-furbishment and have all received the new linen, furniture and little extras. The Marlin Lodge Classic Chalets all have a roof fan and new mosquito netting ,with an en-suite bathroom. the roof is thatch and the walls are cladded with Mozambican reed, and are all west facing , towards the sunset. Each Chalet has its own balcony with deck chairs as well as direct access to the beach in front of the room.

Scale the highest dunes during a round-the-island tour, or grab a sun-umbrella and picnic basket for a day on a desert isle. The glassy shallows in front of the lodge are ideal for motorised water sports like water-skiing or parasailing. Or delve the deep... Two Mile Reef is a favourite among divers. Here you'll find a protected pool known as the Aquarium, one of Southern Africa's finest snorkelling spots. The archipelago's world class dive sites offer the chance to see Mozambique's gentle giants: whale sharks and manta rays. Try your luck saltwater fly-fishing from beach or ski boat. Hook a kingfish or barracuda in Kingfish Alley or head out into deep Indian blue on an 11-metre T-craft to hunt for the lodge's namesake. When the trade winds start to lick the palms it's time to harness canvas to air.

Slip across translucent shallows on a sailboard or fly a hull on one of Marlin's catamarans. When the sky turns salmon, watch the sun sink over the mainland while ghosting along on a dhow sundowner cruise. The sibilant splash of the bow wave... creak of rigging... flutter of canvas as the sail catches the last of the day's breath.
